What do you like best about Lockbox LIMS?

Lockbox worked closely with our team to understand our processes and procedures, then created flows for our very unique and complex testing environment. Training our team has been straightforward, with most parts of the workflow mastered in a few training sessions, and if there are issues or we have questions, Janine and Sita are quick to reply and help us resolve the issue., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockbox LIMS?

I wish more time had been dedicated to helping our company learn more about the admin side of things, the platform is relatively straightforward but because there are so many settings it can be difficult to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockbox LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lockbox is the first LIS we have used for our workflow; before that we were creating paper reports, with no way to track changes or audit historical tests. Having Lockbox means that we can ensure that we are reporting the right results on the right patient, track what samples are in our queue and what stage they are at, and upload our results after testing is complete; no more manual entry!

What do you like best about Lockbox LIMS?

Friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive support. Easy to implement once data model is understood. Making change is simple and safe thanks to multiple environments for development and testing. Customisation is reasonably straightforward with a low/no code interface. Can also customise more in depth with the code interface. Off-the-shelf components give a good starting point for customisation to business needs. Good documentation, whether it is 'how-to', comments on code, or documentation of professional services time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockbox LIMS?

Built-in Salesforce tools for migrating metadata between organisations is a little limiting. If self-implementing, or intending to continue development long-term, consider investing in a Salesforce DevOps platform alongside it (Gearset, Copado etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lockbox LIMS?

We found in LockBox the good solution to keep track of our samples through a complex workflow. Some functionalities are already good out of the box but the system is highly customisable to fit specific needs. The interface is easy to use. It only requires a little time to understand the data structure and which information is stored where in the system; once that is achieved, everything is very logic.

The design and implementation has been assisted in a very professional and organised way with also a fast response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockbox LIMS?

The system manages data well, and you can customize it to fit your lab's needs. It also works smoothly with other tools, making everything more efficient. Plus, the customer support is top-notch. I highly recommend it for labs looking to improve their workflows.

What do you like best about Lockbox LIMS?

Lockbox LIMS helps my team understand real-time inventory in one central browser location. The upsides to using Lockbox LIMS are numerous: It works for consumable and sample inventories alike, the entire system is fully customizable for a company's specific requirements, and the interface has great visual drag-and-drop functionality. The dashboard reporting gives managers insights into metrics in real-time. With the help of Lockbox's responsive Implementation Team, the Lockbox LIMS system was up and running in no time, which is critical for the gene therapy industry. Overall we're extremely happy with Lockbox LIMS, and would recommend it to other laboratories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lockbox LIMS?

We don't have an established connection to other electronic databases currently, so it is standalone use, but we know future integrations are possible using the Lockbox APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lockbox LIMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Already the Lockbox LIMS system has given us the ability to extend the scope of experiments and beat timelines by easily putting together and reporting on inventories. Understanding our laboratory inventory in real-time also helps us meet our budget by reducing over-spending and over-stocking. Prior to implementing Lockbox LIMS, we had no verified inventory system and used on-site resources inefficiently while tracking down materials. The electronic inventory solution of Lockbox LIMS gave the team time back to perform the experiments needed to advance the gene therapy industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
